What we have in store Data and questions from the NCRM study of methods pedagogy and beyond Input from methods teachers, learners, researchers, methodologists and you in all our multiple identities! Provocative questions and discussion Probably not many answers! 2
What is pedagogy? It is not: just teaching but it incorporates theories, beliefs, policies and controversies that inform and shape it (Alexander 2000, 540) It is not: just the traditionally more explicit dimensions such as the specified curriculum, the learning outcomes sought, the assessment approaches it is also the tacit, the often hidden from view, the silences, the absences and the usually invisible (Nind, Curtin & Hall in press)
Defining it the act of teaching together with its attendant discourse (Alexander 2009, 11) A choice of pedagogy inevitably communicates a conception of the learning process and the learner. Pedagogy is never innocent. It is a medium that carries its own message. (Bruner 1996: 63) 4
Thinking about pedagogy pedagogy as specified pedagogy as enacted pedagogy as experienced pedagogy as hard to know multiple pedagogies
